Burros Bits: Busy week at BHS before Thanksgiving Break

It is less than seven days until Thanksgiving Break: less than seven days until reuniting with family members, laughing with friends, sleeping in until the sun rises (at least for students), and less than 15 days until the smell of turkey, cranberry sauce, or whatever foods one’s family loves graces the table as everyone sits down to enjoy a meal together.

It is less than seven days until Thanksgiving Break: less than seven days until reuniting with family members, laughing with friends, sleeping in until the sun rises (at least for students), and less than 15 days until the smell of turkey, cranberry sauce, or whatever foods one’s family loves graces the table as everyone sits down to enjoy a meal together.

And in these seven days of waiting for sweet, sweet salvation, students are excited to experience as much of life here at Burroughs as possible.

First off, Burroughs would love to congratulate each and every one of our Burroughs athletes as they finish off their amazing fall seasons! Our Varsity football team finished with a 4-1 league record, bringing them into a second-place finish in Desert Sky League. Our volleyball team finished the season with an overall record of 15-8, as well as a league record of 11-4. This puts them in third place overall. Girls Tennis finished their season with a phenomenal, undefeated record of 18-0, and made it to their second round of CIF. Finally, Cross Country finished off the season fantastically, with the boy’s team being league champions, and our girls’ team finishing second. All of our fall teams advanced to CIF playoffs, and all of our teams had athletes that achieved All-League status. We at Burroughs would like to thank all the coaches that have made this amazing feat possible, as well as the athletes who put their hearts into playing, and their parents who vehemently support them. Everyone has made us proud, and has upheld the amazing Burroughs standard.

Saturday is the very last day to watch The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)! If you have not seen it yet, or loved it so much you want to see it again, the admission price is just $12, doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the curtain rises for the final time at 7 p.m. Thank you to all who support our award-winning drama department!
